A General Theory Of Emotions And Social Life Warren D Tenhouten by Warren D. Tenhouten instant download after payment.

This unique volume presents a general theory linking emotions and rational thought to social relationships. In his innovative new book TenHouten presents an encyclopaedic classification of the emotions (describing 54 in total) and offers one of the most original and multi-leveled accounts of the emotions and social life ever developed.

This neurocognitive sociology of the emotions shows primary emotions to be adaptive reactions to fundamental problems of life which have evolved into elementary social relationships and which can predict occurrences of the entire spectrum of primary, complex secondary, and tertiary emotions. The scope of this work is comprehensive and includes the development of emotions in childhood, symbolic elaboration of complex emotions, emotions management, violence, and cultural and gender differences.

This volume is essential reading for all those with an interest in the emotions across the social and behavioral sciences. #

Warren D. TenHouten, UCLA Professor of Sociology, has pioneered the interdisciplinary perspective of neurocognitive sociology. In Time and Society (2005), he presented a general theory of culture and time consciousness. Here, affect-spectrum theory classifies the primary, secondary and tertiary emotions and links each to specific, elementary social relationships.
